Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger looked a sad figure after his teams 3-0 mauling at home to Manchester City.
Wenger was honest in his post-match comments on his teams performance against a rampant Manchester City side.
Leroy Sane, David Silva and Aguero and co tore Arsenal apart in the first half with the home side Arsenal going down 3-0 in the first 30 minutes.
And Wenger has admitted that his team lacked confidence and defended poorly throughout the match in front of an attendance of around 58,000 at the Emirates Stadium. And he admitted that it was mainly his sides poor defending that lost them the match.
He said: “I don’t think we can take away from the individual quality of the goals but it was soft defending on our side.
“It was tough but that’s explainable by the fact of what happened on Sunday [losing 3-0 to Man City in the Carabao Cup final] and the consequences of the hype about our performance. It hits you. The players put in a huge effort today but unfortunately we had some weak defending.’
Wenger added:”I feel we put a lot of effort in tonight. We played with low confidence, you could see that at the start of the game and we paid for it.”
Arsenal may have been lacking confidence due to their match against City just a week ago when they also lost 3-0. Arsenal have conceded six goals to City in a week. And while Wenger wasn’t looking for excuses, he admitted that the penalty miss was also another crucial third factor.
‘We needed the penalty to go in, but that was another negative. We lost to a team that is the best in the country at the moment.’
